The loud noise had already alarmed the core disciples who were searching for Mu Xinshu in the surroundings. The battle between Mu Xinshu and Ye Wushang could be said to be earth-shattering.
In the distance, a group of people could be vaguely seen. Their speed was extremely fast, and they arrived in the blink of an eye. On the edge of the cliff, Mu Xinshu and Ye Wushang both wore knowing smiles on their faces.
There were more than a dozen people in the group. The ones in the lead were a few white-haired old men who looked quite old. The ones behind them were all wearing green long robes and had wooden swords hanging from their waists. Moreover, they did not look young. Most of them were middle-aged!
The youngest among them was a man in his thirties who was leading the way at the very front. He was also dressed like a disciple of the Heart Tree Sect. Arriving at the edge of the cliff, the person pointed at Mu Xinshu and Ye Wushang, revealing a happy and happy expression!
"Sect Leader!" They really are here. Mu Xinshu still remembers this place; he's really hiding here! " The man excitedly shouted to the white-haired elders beside him. He then turned around to face Mu Xinshu, who had a playful smile on his face, "Mu Xinshu! It's useless for you to hide in the corners of the world. What are you doing, Brother Ye? If you knew Mu Xinshu was hiding here, why didn't you report it to the various Elders and the Sect Leader!?
Ye Wushang shot a cold glance at the heart disciple with a face full of disdain. As for Mu Xinshu, his gaze was complex as he looked at the heart disciple that was loudly shouting.
"Senior brother Liang Yuzhan, long time no see. I hope you've been well!" Looking at that disciple, Mu Xinshu's heart was filled with memories from the past. In that cave on the cliff, the one who had discovered him was Liang Yuzhan, who had been a disciple like Ye Wushang for many years.
"Humph!" You traitor, don't talk to me, I'm not your senior! " Liang Yuzhan arrogantly raised his head and looked disdainfully at Mu Xinshu. He looked at Ye Wusong and asked, "Senior Brother Ye, what happened here?"
Mu Xinshu's heart felt a little sour. Liang Yuzhan's unfavorable impression of him was beyond his expectations. Back then, he, Liang Yuzhan, Ye Wushang, and the others had been training diligently in the cave beneath the cliff, and they had urged each other on. But now, these senior brothers of his had all become so heartless that it was as if they had become strangers to him!
This made Liang Yuzhan somewhat puzzled, but he was not angry. Instead, he turned his head and spoke to the white-haired elders beside him, "Sect Leader, Master, Martial Uncles! This is where the traitor, Mu Xinshu of the sect is.
"Step down!" A cold voice filled with anger made Liang Yuzhan's entire body tremble. He looked up and saw his master, elder Guo Ao and his son staring at him with a face flushed red with anger! Liang Yuzhan's facial expression changed slightly. Seeing the unsightly expressions on the faces of the group of Sect Elders and Sect Leader, Liang Yuzhan immediately shut his mouth and obediently retreated to the back!
Mu Xinshu's face also turned ugly, because he knew almost all of the white-haired old men around Liang Yuzhan. The head of the Tree Heart Sect, Qin Yutang, the head of the Tree Heart Sect, Great Elder Ou Guangchuan, Elder Guo Ao, Elder Fu Xinde, Elder Jin Tianjiao, Elder Bai Yuying, and Elder Hu Yuanhang were all present!
Qin Yutang was the highest ranked figure of the Core Sect, Ou Guangchuan. The most powerful expert of the Core Sect, Guo Ao and his men were all the pillars of the Sect. Including the Sect Leader, all seven of them were the only 5 Channel Opening Stage cultivators in the Sect's core! Now that they were gathered here, Mu Xinshu's situation suddenly turned bad!
Qin Yutang was expressionless. She looked at Mu Xinshu with a complicated gaze, then looked at Ye Wusong who was standing not far from Mu Xinshu. She suddenly let out a long sigh, "The two of you, just now, shook the earth and moved the mountains.
Mu Xinshu stammered but did not say anything. Facing the Sect Leader of the Tree Core Sect, Qin Yutang, this highly respected person, Mu Xinshu's heart was filled with respect and reverence. When he was the genius disciple of the Sect Core Sect, he had been close to Qin Yutang and had received her help.
Mu Xinshu's thoughts were extremely complicated, but at the moment, he was extremely calm. His gaze was only on Ye Wushang, and he did not notice Mu Xinshu, who was standing beside him.
In his eyes, it seemed as if he did not take the Book of Patriarchs seriously, nor did he take it seriously at all. As for the other sect elders beside Ou Guangchuan, their eyes flashed, and their expressions changed!
Ye Wusong took two steps forward, stood in front of Mu Xinshu, and said with a loud voice, "Disciple Ye Wusong greets the Sect Leader, greets Master, Elders, Teachers, and uncles! This was just a normal sparring session between Junior Brother Mu and his disciple, so it had nothing to do with the grudges between life and death! "Although Junior Brother Mu has already become a traitor of the Treant's Heart Sect, I hope that the Sect Elders and uncles can let Junior Brother Mu go for the sake of the disciples!"
Liang Yuzhan immediately retorted, "Senior Brother Ye, I knew that your relationship with Mu Xinshu was very good. I must help him safeguard it! However, Mu Xinshu is now a traitor of our sect, and you are the genius disciple of our core sect. The reason why the Sect Leader and the Elders are here this time is to grab that 'Heart of Grave' Book. If you were to stop it, it would be a great sin! "
"Shut up!" Anger was written all over Guo Ao's face. He angrily turned around and glared at Liang Yuzhan, and angrily shouted, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! Go back and copy the sword scripture a hundred times! "
Liang Yuzhan blankly stared at his master, whose face was flushed and his chest was rising and falling. He mumbled a few words, wanting to say something, but he could only hold it in his throat as he choked on the words. Under Guo Ao's pair of resentful eyes, Liang Yuzhan unwillingly drooped his head and turned around, heading in the direction he came from!
"Ye Wusong, even though you have obtained a great opportunity and successfully advanced to the 6th meridian stage, you are still a disciple of my 'Heart Tree'!" Before Liang Yuzhan walked too far, Ou Guangchuan, who had been silent the entire time, said something that made his entire body shudder. He suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Ye Wushang in disbelief!
Ye Wushang's gaze was firm and his expression was indifferent as he nodded. He said in a clear voice, "Disciple Ye Wushang will forever be a member of the Core Sect! Master, you can rest assured that Ye Wushang has never betrayed the sect, nor will he betray the sect! It's just that I'm in charge of today's matters! The reason why I was able to break through the bottleneck and enter the sixth meridian was also because of Junior Mu! Therefore, I will not let anyone touch him! "
